Maryland Educators Challenge Exgay Claims

A group of suburban Maryland educators and parents continues to challenge claims being published by exgay pundit and PFOX ally Prof. Warren Throckmorton via the Washington Times. (Previous XGW coverage.)

The media blitz by Prof. Throckmorton and PFOX seeks to overturn a comprehensive, abstinence-inclusive sex-education program in the high-profile public schools of suburban Washington, D.C.

Point by point, David Fishback of the district’s sex-ed panel disputes Prof. Throckmorton’s latest rationale for the politicization of exgay therapy.

Addendum: JimK of TeachTheFacts.org wonders why PFOX just launched one of its pricey billboards featuring exgay Christopher Delaney on a suburban thoroughfare near the Montgomery County Public Schools’ offices.
